It's true people can get away with playing with my head more easily than with most people's. This fact will just have to clunk along.

You've just installed a DVD burner and you think you're cutting edge? You think a 17GB disc is a lot of room? HA! FMD-ROMs are on the horizon, cramming 140GB onto a disc the size of a CD-ROM.
140GB is enough storage for 20 hours of porno movies!
Or 300,000 scat GIFs!
You could store more than half a million USENET messages telling you how to Make Money Fast!
This disk is so big, you could fit EVERY SINGLE VERSION OF THE NEIMAN MARCUS / MRS. FIELDS COOKIE RECIPE CURRENTLY ON THE INTERNET PLUS each and EVERY version of the introductory story about how the author got ripped off, AND you could include a copy for every rip-off amount from $2.50 all the way up through $2,501.52!
What are you waiting for? Get yours while supplies last!
... and if you want to get rid of that useless old DVD-burner, you can always mail it to Baron Earl, c/o Pigdog, and I'll be sure to find it a good home.
Thanks to Sam Uzi for the URL.
